Match preview
Viking enter this Eliteserien encounter level on 56 points with league leaders Bodo/Glimt at the top of the table. Their domestic home record this season has been flawless, collecting maximum points with 11 victories from 11 matches while scoring 41 goals, an average of 3.7 per game. Even with demanding fixtures, including recent high-scoring outings against European opposition, their domestic attacking output remains potent.
Tromso travel south occupying fourth place in the standings on 40 points, positioned in a European qualification spot. While they have been difficult to beat overall with only five defeats in 23 league matches, their away form shows defensive vulnerability. Tromso have conceded 21 goals in 11 away fixtures while scoring 20, having drawn their last two league games against Fredrikstad and KFUM Oslo by 1-1 scorelines.
Past meetings between these two sides have consistently delivered goals, with both teams scoring in eight of their last ten encounters and averaging 3.6 goals per game. Although Viking manage several squad absences including V. Berisha and N. D'Agostino, their prolific frontline led by P. Christiansen and Z. Tripić gives them the upper hand, while Tromso carry enough goal threat through H. Larsen to challenge the home defence.
Key factors
- Viking have won all 11 of their home league matches this season, scoring 41 goals.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
Both teams found the net in eight of the previous ten encounters between Viking and Tromso, including a 4-4 draw in 2025. Despite their winning record at home, Viking have registered only 3 clean sheets in 11 home league games. Tromso have scored in 8 of their 11 away matches, making goals for both sides a probable scenario.
